The Fillings Will Continue Until It Doesn't

So I went to my bi-annual checkup with my dentist recently and they found another cavity.  I felt very discouraged.
I used to have very strong teeth, with no cavities. Up until I was 40, I had not developed any cavities, despite not keeping good regular dental hygiene.  But then something happened after I turned 40.  I started getting cavities in my back molar.  Every visit to the dentist would show some problems.

In fact, I just came back from getting a second filling done on the same molar.  I feel disheartened.  The dentist keeps reminding me to floss, and I keep ignoring the advice.  Hopefully things will be different this time, and I am able to develop the flossing habit.  I really don't want to keep visiting my dentist and have them shove some crap into my mouth to make my jaw stay open while they drilling out my cavity.  It's very uncomfortable to have to visit them to get this filling done.

However, I guess I don't hate it enough to make me change my admittedly bad habit of not flossing.  I do have a laissez-faire attitude sometimes, to my detriment.  That is why while it is fresh in my mind, I hope I can kick this bad habit by talking about it.  Recognize it, expose it out in the open, and hope for the best.

This Is What It Should Be

My trading endeavours will no longer be blogged about here.  Instead I will use an old blog of mine to record my trading journal.

This blog will remain active for capturing my non-trading thoughts.
